 Kern
County's Leauge of Women Voters.
On November
4, citizens elected the next President of the United
States. Also on the ballot were candidates running for
the national, state and local offices and California
state propositions.
The League
of Women Voters of Kern County, a nonpartisan
organization, has actively engaged citizens through
voter education and voter registration for many years,
thereby building a better community. “As we approached
the November 4 election, the League is working hard
to register, educate, and encourage voters to fulfill
their most precious civic responsibility,” said
Diane Williams, president of the local League. “This
year, we have been proud to register record number voters
during the primary election and partner with the Kern
County Election Department in an effort to increase
voter participation in our county.”
The registration
deadline is October 20. The League of Women Voters of
Kern County will register voters in Delano, Shafter
and Arvin on October 18 and collaborate with Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority, Inc in Bakersfield to register voters
on October 19.

ca.lwvnet.org for information on location and times.
Be sure to join our Pros and Cons forums on the twelve
state propositions on October 15 at 5:45 pm. at the

In conjunction
with the League’s traditional election activities,
the League of Women Voters also has easy-to-use, nonpartisan
voter information websites, www.smartvoter.org and www.VOTE411.org
The site provides a polling place locator and state-specific
